The ACGME and Intealth collaborated on a successful physician well-being seminar in Chicago this past weekend, addressing the unique needs of foreign national physicians in US graduate medical education programs.

On the heels of the ACGME's Second Symposium on Physician Well-Being, JGME released its December 2016 issue featuring the latest research and commentary on well-being in residency, developing emotional intelligence, and more.

The NAM Action Collaborative on Clinician Well-Being and Resilience has released a draft for a National Plan for health workforce well-being and is seeking public input. The plan is intended to provide a roadmap to drive collective action to improve the well-being of the health workforce.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and this month the ACGME will shine a spotlight on resources for enhancing the well-being of all in the GME community.

In this post, we explore the ACGME’s well-being efforts, including their impact on the GME community.

The ACGME is committed to supporting graduate medical education programs to develop a Culture of Well-Being, not just the absence of burnout and depression. The central feature in this culture is the well-being of all members of the health care team, including faculty and staff members, and residents and fellows.

March 18 marked the second annual Health Workforce Well-Being Day, sponsored by the National Academy of Medicine, a day recognizing the critical issue of health worker burnout. This year, ACGME leadership proudly participated in the celebratory event on March 17.

This inaugural day aims to unite national and institutional leaders, policymakers, patients, communities, and health workers across professions. It is sponsored by the National Academy of Medicine Collaborative, co-chaired by President and Chief Executive Officer Dr. Thomas Nasca.
